Halo Thank you notes

I had to make up thank you notes for B. It gets pretty tough to do something "cool" as he gets older. I figured that as long as I could tie it into something having to do with Halo Reach he would be ok with it. Thankfully I was correct and he "approved" of them. :)

I got the graphic image off of the net. I simply cut/pasted it several times and printed it onto white c/s. The yellowish background paper is some that I got in a clearance pack and had in my stash. It just so happened to match the planet perfectly. I used the Mandarin Screen embossing folder to give it some depth. The black star was done with the SU Large Star punch and Black narrow SU grosgrain ribbon is in the button. (The button is from my stash and held on with a glue dot.)

The font is called Impact and done on the computer, just printed on white c/s and trimmed. I added a little bit of decorative edge to the left side of the font piece with SU decorative scissors.

Sparkly Baseball (no....not Twilight related)

For all the Twilight fans, this card is NOT for you...LOL. (Although I DO have some Twilight inspired stamps that are just waiting to get inked and maybe I can get to that this weekend in between watching NEW MOON again and finishing up the prep work for my stamp camp on 3/26. NEW MOON comes out on DVD Saturday - wooo hooo!)

Anyhow, I had to make a quick baseball themed card last night and this is what I came up with. I printed a cute baseball playing bear, accented him with glitter glue, added a sentiment and some punched stars and mounted it with a coordinating background paper. The only thing that took "time" was waiting for the glitter glue to dry.

Cards for Kids Class

I was recently hired by FCPS to conduct a stamping class for 30 kids in grades K-6. Talk about a variety of skill level!! Plus, I had boys and girls. After discussing ideas with some of my stamp campers and showing what I had planned I thought I was set. I sat down to cut everything and make my prototypes and low and behold, I discovered that I couldn't locate my favorite monkey set :( So, back to the drawing board and my monkey card turned into this bug card. The good news is that it was a huge success. The bad news (or maybe it's good news too?) is that they want me back to teach another class. (The bad news is that I really don't have a lot of time in the upcoming months, so I don't know if it will happen or have to be post-poned to the Fall. Anyhow, this card uses the adorable SU set Bugs and Kisses :)

We also did a valentines card and mini-project which I will show you in my next posts :)
